I'm at right in the white tee and faded maroon cord-jeans aged 14 years and 2 months and lusting after that telescope. Later that year I started grinding an 8" f/6. The others in the photo are former society president Greg Hayward (at the eyepiece of his 8" f/7 newtonian) and Lance Raynor.

We were heavily clouded out in the afternoon and did not see the eclipse.
Great memories!

Best,
